An HONEST Review of Clickworker.com

**I really haven't been posting and I feel so ashamed! I promise that I've been busy! **

Hey ya'll,
I'm always looking for new opportunities to make extra cash and I stumbled upon this website called Clickworker.

They've been around for quite some time and now have around 718,000 workers registered as of January 2015.

They have a lot of tasks to be done for a few pennies as long as you are able to pass their assessments and qualification tests. For the most part, it looks a lot like cleaning up search queries on Google.

I don't mind doing work there, and you can run through the tasks pretty quickly if you know what you're doing with the task at hand. If you happen to go too fast, they will tell you! Also, I've been suspended from HitApps (as they're called) for making judgment calls that I felt in my opinion were correct. I do believe that they have some kinks to work out before this site can be totally perfect. I have about 100 USD pending with them, and there is a 21 day waiting period for anything done on their partner site UHRS for all the Search Term Evaluation tasks.

I started on January 30th, actively doing the tasks and racked up quite a bit of money in a short time. I have to say though, that I don't like some of the reviews I've read on Glassdoor about the way they treat their workers, and if they feel that you may be "a robot" or if they suspect that your account is suspicious in any way, they can remove your account and not pay you for the work you've done.

I'm taking a gamble on this one as far as seeing how and when they will release the money they owe. I did have to join the clickworker forum to be able to find out that the limit on payment withdrawal is 5 dollars and that they pay weekly on a certain day. I was truly hoping that I would receive that money by the end of the month so that I could continue working with them with confidence.

If you're looking for extra cash to pay off a bill that isn't urgent, I suggest this site to check out.

You can also earn a referral bonus of 5 dollars just for getting people to log in and make 10 bucks.
I've worked from January 30th until February 15th and I'm going to hold off until I see some actual money get deposited in my PayPal account.

I'm looking to buy a car this month and I'm so focused that I'll try any of these services to see what I come up with. I love sharing the "wealth" so to speak.

I accept donations, and if anyone wants to do so, I will send you a customized 3-card spread tarot reading from any of the special decks that I have. :)

As always, if you have any questions or if you'd like to contact me, feel free! Leave a comment if you have any feedback you'd like to offer about Clickworker, I'd love to hear from you!

Do you want to test and keep products for free? 100% LEGIT

Do you want to try out a product before it hits the shelves AND keep it? I know that I did, and ever since I found out about product testing sites, I've been on the lookout for free products. I've found that there are some sites that promise to let you test products but they never come, just a bunch of spam. I am going to give you the real deal sites that deliver on that promise.

Influenster is one of my favorites! They send you a VoxBox periodically filled with lots of cool things to try. In order to qualify you have to connect all of your social media, and give reviews on the products you received. They have a ranking system that I love! They're website is fast, fluid, bright, and easy to understand. The best part is that you get to keep all the products and if you do a good job at earning your badges, you are more than likely to receive another box. Be sure to "flex your social media influence"

You can view what I received in my Frosty VoxBox here!

PINCHme offers a unique opportunity to test products for free. You choose a product, try it out, have your say and get rewarded. They send personalized boxes to you at your home or office, and if you've been chosen, you will get a congratulatory email letting you know when your box will be shopped and where. I haven't received a box from them yet, but I did get that email. I think I've got 15 days left before the box arrives.

BzzAgent offers something really cool called, a BzzCampaign. Right after you join, you fill out your profile, and answer all the surveys on your dashboard. The surveys are quick and easy, and they help BzzAgent cater to your interests with sending a campaign your way that will allow you to participate and increase your BzzScore. The higher your BzzScore, the more likely you are chosen again for another campaign. The BzzCampaign usually lasts around 56 days so that you can give a good review on the product received. I'm currently in the Charmin Basic BzzCampaign and I've been making sure I get on everyday to Buzz all about it on social media.

Toluna has an area where you answer surveys and are able to enter sweepstakes and contests to win prizes. You can also interact with other members by answering polls, voting, and asking questions of your own.  I haven't been able to qualify for a lot of their surveys because of demographic information but they let you keep moving on to other surveys that you might qualify for. They have a test area where you can register to try out the products. You pick the product, and if you're chosen you get the product. They have a limited quantity available, so you must be quick if you're interested!

Crowdtap is a site that I joined this morning, and I'm not sure of what lies ahead with them but, I'll give you a bit of info on what they do, and how they work as I understand it. You have QuickHits, Actions, Missions, and Challenges to complete as soon as you log in. QuickHits are what they promise, usually one or two multiple choice questions and you've received experience points in whatever topic you provided feedback on. I've got to do more on the site to be able to give a full review, and I will update you guys when things change.

As always remember that when you are giving the reviews on the products you receive, you must disclose that you got the items complimentary from whatever company that sent them for testing purposes. I've provided links within each section so that you can go check them out.

In my next post, I'll feature the subscription box sites that will allow you to pay monthly and guarantee your box!

Palettes & Brushes

This is what I want to do, EVERY DAY.

I don't know what it is exactly about makeup that intrigues me. I was always told that everyone should showcase their natural beauty and not wear so much "war paint". Honestly, I'm on both sides of the fence with that. You've got women who use WAY too much for the wrong occasion, and most of the time they aren't really even educated on how to apply it. I spend a lot of time watching YouTube tutorials on all different types of looks. If you think back about 10 years ago, makeup brushes and big palettes were for professional makeup artists. Now, everyone wants them. Everyone has at least 4 palettes, brush sets, and all different types of products to complete their looks. I bought my first ever palette about 4 years ago and it was the Urban Decay Naked 2. I remember going to Ulta and when I saw it, I knew I needed to have it. I never had the money to splurge on makeup at all, and I was just buying cheap drugstore brands. What I didn't know was that the palette I purchased did not compliment my eye color and that I had made the wrong choice.

Fast forward- I know now what I need to get: A good, quality brush set, and another palette!

The brush set by e.l.f. Cosmetics is around $75.00 and is a complete, 25 piece, professional brush collection. This is totally on my want and need list! The style and design is good on the eyes, and looks to be of great quality.

The palette is by Urban Decay, and its the limited-edition, Alice in Wonderland palette. Based off the movie by Tim Burton, the whole theme was extremely popular for a really long time. They only made about 200 of these sets, and it features 16 colors, primer, eyeliner and eyebrow pencils. I really like this one because of the colors as they seem really versatile. The palette is outdated as of right now but these colors would be the perfect combination to me. You've got the pretty purples, and the nice dark black for a smoky eye, if you're fancy.

Check out this tutorial here, it's easy and spot on!

I'm going to see if I can find a palette with similar colors, wish me luck! If you have anything to add or can help me in my search, hit me up!

My Frosty VoxBox from Influenster

Afternoon dolls!

I want to talk to you guys about a really great company called Influenster. They send you full size products, sometimes before they hit the shelves, and you get a chance to test and review them. They call it "flexing your social media influence". I just love them so much! Not everyone gets a box but you have a chance to "try" for the box by completing badges on their site.

I want to show you what they sent me, and I promise that I am being TOTALLY honest!

I'm not really one with a sweet tooth but, the Fruit Vines Strawberry they sent me were off the hook! My son and I munched on them for about 2 days. :)

I usually always hate doing my hair. Washing, drying, straightening etc.. But they sent me a brush from EcoTools called Sleek + Shine. The brush actually reduces drying times by 20% and I noticed the difference. I might use this brush in the future as a finisher because it gave me some static but, the shine overall is amazing. The vents allow the air to get to the hair quicker and I noticed less damage.

I've been trying to create recipes and do things different this year. When I say different, I mean last year I didn't cook. SO I was more than happy to receive the McCormick Gourmet Thyme in the box. I've used it to make some cool dishes because Thyme actually goes great with pork and potatoes, and who doesn't like pork and potatoes?? You can actually go to McCormick.com and fill out a flavor profile and they will match you up with some recipes according to the foods you like.

Now, Rimmel London makes great products but who knew how great the ScandalEyes Kohl Kajal Eyeliner would be?? Also, who knew how terrible the Gentle-Eyes Make-Up Remover would be? I surely didn't. Quite frankly, it burned my eyes and I don't recommend it unless you don't mind a little pain.

The eyeliner is amazing. It goes on smooth, does not smudge and provides all day/night wear. I wore it to bed one night just to see what would happen, I few smudges around the corners of the eyes and that was it. I have to add that the Rimmel Make Up Remover does NOT work well in removing its own product.

Now, onto the NYC New York Color Expert Last Lip Color. I received this color in Sugar Plum. It's not really my choice of colors but I did give it a good test. It was creamy and long lasting like the product promises. My lips felt great and still had moisture after removal.

Boots No7 Perfect and Protect Intense ADVANCED Serum is a great product that I've never heard of. I talked to my mom about the product when I received it and she told me she currently uses it. My mom has a great complexion and for a woman in her 50's, looks very good for her age. Influenster sent a packet which doesn't really provide a good amount of testing, although you do get  a "perk" from them which a coupon to purchase your own full size bottle. In order to get a good idea of what this product does, you should use it for 4 weeks to see a difference. I used it until I ran out! It goes on smooth and didn't cause a break-out at all. I had super soft skin and I enjoyed it.

I totally have to share my experience with Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Decaf tea!

I started to feel a bit icky because of the winter weather and I figured I would test it out. They sent two packets, and I'm truly glad that they did. It has a nice powerful taste of peppermint, which is a perfect aroma/taste combination. I finished the mug and immediately felt better. I'm not claiming that it has health benefits, however, if you feel sick you should definitely see a doctor. In any case, this tea made ME feel better and is perfect to relax with on cold night!

I want you guys to remember that I received ALL of these products complimentary from Influenster for testing and review purposes. Check them out Influenster

I'm going to wrap up here, I have a few things to do today, and one of them is relax! If you have any questions or would like to give me some input contact me, I answer everyone!

Retrograde Report 2015

Well hey! 

On this Friday evening, I thought I should start off this new blog with my thoughts on Mercury being in Retrograde. When I was a kid, I used to hear my relatives talking about Mercury Retrograde and I never really thought anything about it, I just figured that it was a time when things just went awry. Everything! Mercury rules communication, travel and technology--all of these areas are going haywire! They say not to sign contracts, get married, or buy any big ticket items. They warn that if you bought a big screen TV or a car for example, that the price would decrease drastically when Mercury starts moving back to its original position. 

This happens about 3 times a year, and for about 2 weeks each time. There is also something called a "shadow period" so there is a chance you've felt something a week or so before Jan 21.

Mercury Retrograde is in Aquarius right now and I'll tell you that the Aquarians I know are acting totally crazy. Shame on you Mercury!

You can survive this. My best advice is to finish everything that you've started during this time, and do not start anything new until after Feb 11th. Here are a few things that I am doing right now:

-Relax
-Reorganize
-Rejuvenate
-Reading
-Reviewing
-Refocusing
-Renew, revamp, redecorate

Don't have a mental breakdown, you may not even feel the effects of Mercury, there are a lot of people who aren't even affected by it. 
Always be prepared, bring a book, don't forget your headphones, prepare for late buses or late flights, traffic.. anything can happen! Backup your data, forgive your enemies, and spend time with your loved ones. <3

Here is a handy-dandy image from Sunsigns.org showing you the exact dates of MR:
